Knowledge Center for Public Administration & Policy

Established in 2001, the Knowledge Center for Public Administration and Policy (KP&P) is dedicated to the systematic accumulation, analysis, management, and dissemination of information related to the South Korean public sector.

In doing so, the KP&P intends to support effective public decision making processes, and provide relevant, easily accessible and well-organized academic resources to those interested in studying Korean experiences in the public sector.

All resources will be made available online at no cost. We hope that this information will serve to stimulate greater international awareness of the South Korean government’s role in transforming the nation from one of the poorest nations in the world during the 1950s to the wealthy and highly development nation it is today.

Moreover, by making such information available we also hope to increase academic inquiry into South Korea’s experiences, by Korean, as well as international scholars.
